Carlos Ulberg Knocks Out Dominick Reyes in First Round at UFC Perth to Position Himself for Title Shot

With nine straight wins, Ulberg’s bid to be UFC 320 backup now makes him the front‑runner at light heavyweight.

Overview

  • Ulberg stopped Reyes by KO at 4:27 of Round 1 in the UFC Perth main event at RAC Arena.
  • The victory extended Ulberg’s UFC winning streak to nine and earned him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
  • Ulberg said he spoke with UFC executive Hunter Campbell and asked to be flown to Las Vegas to serve as the UFC 320 backup.
  • The result halted Reyes’s three‑fight knockout run; he congratulated Ulberg in a brief Instagram statement.
  • Ulberg is widely viewed as the leading candidate to face the winner of next week’s Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alex Pereira title rematch at UFC 320.
